[Vision2020] Illegals--how convenient

[keely emerinemix]

Jaywalking and speeding are wrong, because they are illegal.  Murder is 
wrong because it's wrong, period, and only secondarily happens to be 
illegal.  Hiding Jews in one's attic during the Holocaust was righteous and 
God-ordained, but happened to be illegal.

Do you really think that "it's wrong because it's illegal" is the best 
demonstration of righteousness?  If that were the case, you would then be 
ceding government power over your very soul.  I think you don't want to do 
that.

If you did, though, I'd fight for your rights, even if it were illegal.

  So I'm eager to hear from Mekt7 how he came to such a conclusion, and I 
hope he responds so we can all hear.

Of course, it'll be a little tricky for me to change my orientation -- 
having worked with illegal immigrants for more than a decade, I'm aware that 
some of the most deeply committed followers of Christ Jesus I've ever known 
have crossed without papers, and not arrogantly but desperately and in 
faith. And I know that if it came down to feeding my family or not, I would 
trust in God to provide for me but

I live hand to mouth. I am part of America's Working Poor. I know what it 
means to not know where the money to pay the bills comes from. Just 
remember, God ordained government. Ignoring it has consequences. Here is a 
documented example. I was recently reading a book on immigration by Roberto 
Suro. He talked about the Mam Indians of Guatamala. Many of them are 
Evangelical Christians who came illegally, not to avoid the death squads, 
where seeking asylum would have been appropriate, but for jobs. They have 
pretty much taken over the janitorial services in a major grocery store 
chain in Houston. The only problem was that their children began joining 
gangs. Many families took their children back to Guatamala, gave up their 
jobs to save their kids. It might sound a little simplistic, but it is true. 
Bad things happen when people ignore God's instructions  and Laws. I don't 
hate Mexicans. I pray for the Mexican economy almost daily. That being said, 
illegal immigration is still wrong, because it is illegal.
